#1 Air Filter Assembly

Post by kgb123 » Tue Oct 09, 2012 8:37 am

I've just overhauled/restored the air filter housing and trumpet assembly on my car. With access to sand blasting and a paint booth, the parts look as good as new (bar a bit of corroded metal that will be hidden by the rubber gator). One thing that was beyond recovery was the retaining plate that fits at the bottom of the filet element. SNG only sell the whole air filter assembly which I don't need. Anyone know where i can get hold of just the plate?
Thanks
Kevin

Personally I would try to repair the plate as it is internal to the air filter and no-one will see it especially with the filter sitting on top of it - otherwise I think you are forced to buy a complete filter housing second hand

but you could try someone like Hutsons who may sell you the component.
